Warning Quarter Life Crisis: Flew to Alaska to catch fresh Salmon for Alaskan Omelette recipe, slipped, broke my leg and fell into the river. Got washed away from human civilization. Grizzly bear found me shivering, cold, wet, and hungry in the fetal position. Now I am den mother to 2 rather frisky grizzly cubs who either think I am a chew toy or their wounded dinner. I can't escape. I hear birds outside the cave, it must be nice to be free... You know what that reminds me of? EGGS IN A BASKET 1 slice sourdough, potato, or wheat bread 1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 large egg Salt and freshly ground black pepper Pinch paprika, optional ADD CHECKED ITEMS TO GROCERY LIST Directions Cut a 2-inch round from the center of the bread, reserving the round. Melt a nut size bit of butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the slice of bread and the round in skillet and toast lightly, about 1 minute. Crack the egg into the hole and season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add remaining the rest of the butter as needed to brown and crisp the toast. Flip the egg and round, season with salt and pepper. Cook another 2 minutes for a runny yolk, or slightly longer for a set egg. Transfer egg-in-the-hole to a plate and sprinkle with paprika, if desired. Serve, and use the toasted round for dipping into the yolk.
